Reactions
What can form E or Z isomers
Alkenes
What takes the highest priority in naming?
Alcohol!
The lower the pKa...the (higher/lower) the acidity
the higher the acidity
Can a primary Haloalkene undergo E1?
No
What is Zaitsev's Rule?
The major product of Beta-elimination is the more stable (AKA more substituted) alkene (results in major (more stable) and minor (less stable) products

Melting and boiling point properties of alcohols?
HINT: does hydrogen bonding increase or decrease the melting point of a compound?
Hydrogen bonding makes higher melting and boiling points
Which of the following statements applies to the E2 mechanism?
A) It occurs with inversion of stereochemistry.
B) It occurs with racemization of stereochemistry.
C) It proceeds through the more stable carbocation intermediate.
D) The C-H and C-X bonds that break must be anti. E) Use of a bulky base gives the more highly substituted alkene product.
D!
